[05:40] cremora minora [06:26] morning not_found [06:28] Good morning uncle Kilos, how are you today? [06:28] good ty not_found and you? [06:28] hows the studying going? [06:29] No complaints thanks :) - I was going to ask the same question about the studying :D ... and it hasn't gone yet on my side :/ [06:29] lol [06:29] its all driving me crazy [06:33] why, programs not wanting to work? [06:34] no man trying to remember all the stuff and what they do [06:34] so many words that are meaningless still [06:34] just in bash for beginners [06:36] that is the thing, once you learn it you have to apply it over and over day after day or it will just fade away again (and that is where you need that precious thing called time) [06:38] ai! [06:38] hardware is much easier [06:39] but also frustrating [06:39] hardware is more static :p [06:40] latest thing this week is when booting this pc bios gets to where it sees drives then it hangs there and 5 mins later auto reboots and runs through everything lekker fast and boots [06:40] like needs a warm up period [06:40] also hardware you can sort for good with a 4lb hammer [06:41] im back on the 500g drive that kept crashing and its running fine with evolution purged [06:43] Well I hope the hardware holds up on your side uncle Kilos, nothing more frustrating than faulty hardware (especially when it is intermittent) [06:45] ty. but strange that on 12.04 unity and kde on 2 different drives pc kept crashing [06:45] must be a security hole in evo somewhere [06:46] or just a bug [06:47] yeah but a bug that can crash the mbr so bios doesnt see the drive even [06:48] can even be a bug in the BIOS [06:49] i found a nice tool for that in xp on gigabytes mobo's [06:49] called @bios [06:50] who knows what combination of events must come together to cause issues... [06:50] online flash and upgrade [06:50] most newer hardware has something similar... [06:50] but i dunno if this board has a jumper to block it [06:51] I am not a fan of flashing hardware how ever... easiest way to brick something :) [06:51] no man the flashrom guys help you sort it [06:51] but you need to understand what they say [06:53] looks like all they do is flashrom scripts for all pcs [06:55] and if you can get a floppy working you can boot with bios upgrade floppies [07:04] maybe one could do it with a usb stick as well [07:17] I would imagine it is dependent to what extent the BIOS is crippled... I have heard many stories of motherboards having to be replaced or at the very least the BIOS chips on them [07:18] yes thats the norm but them okes fix bricked mobos [07:18] i get their mails on whats wrong and what to fix [07:18] but dont understand them anyway [07:19] they even have a channel on irc [07:19] and flashrom is in ubuntu repos [07:20] only im scared to even try it because you gotta be a pro to understand them [07:20] but im sure there are tons of bricked mobos that can be fixed [07:21] possible [07:23] linux geeks are clever [07:30] I am pretty sure it is geeks in general ;) [07:31] i dunno i think lotsa win geeks throw good hardware away [07:38] oh and the average Ubuntu user doesn't? [07:38] i was surprized when the 8ta networking guy came here to check what was wrong with my connection and the tower, he was quite familier with unity and even my opera browser [07:38] cool [07:39] when i started with 8.10 every one said whats linux and whats ubuntu [07:39] * not_found is going to sign off for a bit... give some other peeps time to procrastinate on the PC... hope everyone has a nice Sunday... [07:40] and thats only 4 years ago methinks [07:40] haha [07:47] hi Vince-0 do you have the info for RMS in pretoria please [07:47] Kilos!
